The home-grown actress is phenomenal on screen, both big and small and she's quite something in her latest short film - a moody, dark campaign for the iconic leatherwear label Oroton. The clip, which was shot in Sydney's iconic St James Station, sees Rose and a number of other young model/actresses fighting over Oroton's latest must-have piece - the Ashbury Clutch.

In the film, Rose's hair is swept back and wild. Her eye makeup smoulders, as does she. It's a look she positively rocks, but in regular life, Rose prefers a more pared-back style. We know this because she told us. Here, a bunch of other excellent beauty and style tips and tricks, plus a quirky, clever fact or three from a woman we're proud to call our own.

This party season you’re going to wear makeup that’s …

Not heavy and easy to take off at night! And always a nice red lip to jazz things up - Dragon Girl from NARS is a favourite

Hair will be …

Messy and usually post beach so even more messy.

Get your own Oroton bag. This one is mine. Rose Byrne - beautiful as always.

Your new year beauty resolution is …

GET MORE SLEEP.

Any beauty trends you wish you would go away?

Heavy contouring - I have never been a fan. Natural beauty is always so much younger and fresher.

Any that you’d love to master but so far haven’t?

The classic Bardot cat eye. I try and try and try but continue to fail and look instead like I am dressing up for Halloween.

Big hair, a rich, smoky bronzed eye and a strong, defined brow.

Your all-time favourite beauty treatment is?

The entire Rationale range is fantastic and I have seen great results from it ... a Melbourne brand I was introduced to recently on the film I am shooting and now I am a devotee

Your all-time favourite muse?

My mother Jane - her grace, her humour, her way with people and with especially with children (and her love of vintage floral dresses) has always been my touchstone.

Celebrity you adore?

Glenn Close - my friend, a colleague, a woman I love and admire for her exceptional talent, her loyalty to her friends and family, her intelligence and counsel on the industry, her vulnerability and strength in a business and world which is not always encouraging of a woman to show both. Her organisation devoted to ending stigma around mental illness - Bring Change 2 Mind is inspiring, moving and deeply personal. I truly adore her.

The Autumn Winter 2017 Oroton range features details such as bold colours and detailed embroidery.

Beauty to me means …

Someone shining, something bright, a moment, a day, a laugh, a piece of poetry, a joke, an act of kindness, a moment of truth, be it painful or easy. The tiny things that slip through the cracks can be the most beautiful.

My go-to facial treatment is …

A facial at the Rationale salon in Sydney's Woollahra is a treatment that is non invasive and soothing and healing.

I feel most confident when I’m …

Running on more than five hours sleep.

It takes a village to create a look like this ... well, a hair and makeup artist or two anyway.
